Someone might judge that the player was trying to tap the ball when fouled but grabbed it as a result of getting fouled. Hmmm.

That doesn't matter because the "act of tapping" doesn't start until the ball is touched.

IMO, with .3 left, if the player is trying to tap, s/he will tap and not catch the ball no matter what the contact.

If it's a catch, then it's a common foul and not a shooting foul.
